Theres some good ideas there. You may not like reading but it sounds like she didnt like but still tried your hobby so give it a go. Theres a happy medium ground, maybe get some video game related books that you might enjoy reading more?

>I feel like I see my friends online (Specifically the ones we've seen get married) and as a couple they love doing the online thing as a couple.

Comparison is the thief of joy. Those couples might both enjoy those things, but it sounds like your partner doesnt. Thats not a bad thing. It sounds like shes more of an in-person social person rather than online.

>Perhaps though, this is just not something my girlfriend does not want to do and would rather be offline. Maybe I need to further reduce my online time but having come from doing this every evening, down to 3 evenings a week seems like a big compromise on my part.

It can be hard transitioning from a single lifestyle full of time for hobbies to in a relationship, but there is a balance that can be made. At the moment I imagine she feels like shes only there to have the intimate parts of the relationship.

As a straight to the point question, on an average evening at home, would you rather spend time with your partner, or be online with your friends? Theres no wrong answer.

Its all well and good having a hobby but it seems like that hobby takes a lot of time away from your relationship. If your compromise is "3 days a week" it sounds like it would be every night you would rather spend time talking to your friends / strangers on a stream than spend time with your girlfriend?

Do you guys do anything she likes doing as a hobby? Do you ever have time when your both unplugged from the internet and just together? She might like video games but it sounds like she enjoys them casually, whereas your life is built around them? When you said you enjoy doing it in your free time when single is fine, but in a relationship now is that still the case?

I am not saying give up your hobby completely, or give up talking to your friends, but a good relationship requires attention. If I was her I would feel pretty lonely if you preferred spending time online with people than in person with me every night.

I think when done I am going to relisten to the 1*s and see if I treated them too harshly on the day lol
